Finishing Options For Fabricated Natural Stone (Video)

Video Showcases Different Finishing Options For Fabricated Natural Stone

The advancements in technology have propelled the building materials industry into a wave of product innovation. New materials, including natural stone, continue to push the boundaries of design and are being incorporated into projects in new ways. Fabrication has played a huge role in this, and has made natural stone a premier choice whether the project calls for one individual piece or a large scale hardscape space. The fabrication process is not an extensive one, but it does require finishing details for all of the sawn sides of the fabricated piece. These finishing options include:

• Thermaling
• Rock-Facing
• Live-Edge

All three of these options can affect the look, texture, and installation of the material, making it important to understand the differences between them for project-specific needs. For more information on fabricated natural stone, download the Landscape and Saw Shop Spec Guide.
